The Baton Rouge Copitolian- Adj
vocate gives the following interesting
account Of little folks party at the
residence of Gov. McEnery, the oc-
casiou being tho celebration Of the 9Th
birthday OF Master Douglass, second
son Of the Governor:
On Saturday evening last the Gov
ernor's residence was all agloW with
light and bright with flowers, while
enlivening strains of dance music
tloated out through the lace draperies
of the windows into the pleasant ev-
ening air. The occasion which called
forth this festal array was the sixth
birthday OF Master Douglas McEnery,
the second son of the Governor. who
had invited some fifty little friends to
rejoice with him and celebrate his
birthday. The rariors were filled with
gay little Inaidens and their attendant
cavaliers and the evening was spent in
dancing and playing games, alternately.
Mrs. McEnery, with uutiring zeal,
moved among the little throng and
suggested new games and new dances
until the hour of supper was announced,
when the musicians played a grand
march and Master Douglas NIcEnery
escorting little Miss Hausey headed
the column, which marched, two by
two, into tho dining-room, where a
table, beautiful with flowers, fruits and
swcetmeats Of every description,
tempted the little elves to regale them
selves. In spite OF the fact that the
little girls looked so fairy.like III their
tleccy white robes, laces- and gay rib
buns, they showed themselves eager to
partake of the festive spread before
them, thus recalling the fact that even
the gods dcign to sip nectar and am
hrosia in far-iamed Olympus, and
earthly fairies consequently are cxcusa-
bic for showing q love of daintics.
The evening was one of unalloyed
pleasure and the nth Of May will be
long remembered by all who partook
of tho elegant hospitality for which
tho house of Governor and Mrs. Nc
Emery has long been famous.
